Supporting Employees Through the Challenges of Cancer

Cancer can have a significant impact on an individual's personal and professional life and it's important for employers to provide support for employees affected by cancer. Sensitizing the team at work about cancer can be done through education, open and honest communication, clear and open policy on cancer-related leave and accommodations and providing access to resources such as Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that provides counseling services, support groups and legal and financial advice. By creating an open and supportive environment, employers can help ensure that employees feel comfortable discussing their needs and asking for support, by providing individualized support that addresses the specific needs of the employee and their family. It's important to lead by example, and for senior management and supervisors to set the tone for open and supportive environment.

In addition, employers can provide support by teaching about nutrition and other lifestyle changes, understanding environmental toxins and toxic emotions which can promote cancer, and how to eliminate them, coaching and grief support, distress, epigenetics and mindfulness. These are essential for overall well-being and can help prevent cancer. Employers can provide access to resources such as nutritionist, health coaches, and other health practitioners that can assist employees in making healthy lifestyle changes, and help them understand the impact of environmental toxins and toxic emotions on their health. Coaching and grief support can help employees cope with the emotional challenges of cancer, and distress, epigenetics and mindfulness can help employees find inner peace and balance during this difficult time.
